TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to accept an easement deed from PCH and Ximeno, LLC, the owner of the property located at 4525 East Pacific Coast Highway, for sidewalk-widening purposes; and
Accept Categorical Exemption No. CE-17-006. (District 4)
DISCUSSION
The owner of the property at 4525 East Pacific Coast Highway is constructing two commercial buildings comprised of a retail pharmacy and a fast food restaurant. To accommodate the new use, it is necessary that a two-foot wide dedication be granted to the City in order to allow the sidewalk to be widened (Exhibit A). This dedicated property will improve the flow of pedestrian traffic in the area.
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed dedication. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption No. CE-17-006, was issued January 17, 2017, for this dedication (Exhibit B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Linda T. Vu on February 8, 2017 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa Jose-Murray on February 13, 2017.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
A dedication processing fee in the amount of $1,258 was deposited in the General Fund (GF) in the Public Works Department (PW). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK,
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
